  1. My doctor prescribed Mestinon,and prednisone: ramping up to 60mg.

    1. Mestion. It started working right away and I could talk. It helped with the diagnosis.

      1. ivig, prednisone, CellCept, pyridostigmine,

        1. It is great to hear from you. We appreciate you adding your experience to the discussion. I was started on the same exact treatment combo. Although it brought my symptoms under control, I experienced a lot of side effects that ended up being more limiting than the MG symptoms themselves. Was this your experience as well?
